It is City of London Cemetery and Crematorium, which is in Manor Park, which used to be in Essex. The name of the dataset doesn't make it clear that it is only this particular cemetery / crematorium and not a general London dataset.

Deceased Online don't have City of London Cemetery, The Genealogist have had an index with links to the images for a year or more. The images themselves have always been free to access. Its a shame its not East London Cemetery which is one of the few cemeteries whose records are still not available online (and where quite a few of my ancestors are buried) but that's a private company.

Deceased Online have Manor Park Cemetery & Crematorium which is a separate one.

Still can't find some relatives who I'm sure are interred at City of London, or at least are mentioned on the gravestone. But its nice to have the images and index in one place.

Edit - I don't think it actually includes the Crematorium records (or at least those covering 1975 and later) because I know one of my Great Aunt's was cremated there and interred in the same grave as her mother (who does appear in the burial registers). There are papers held within the family confirming this.

I've searched two surnames and for both the only hits are for burials at Little Ilford.

I looked at some that said Little Ilford but the actual register says City of London Cemetery at Little Ilford. Not sure but I wonder if that area was originally known as Little Ilford as that seems to be the burial place on earlier burials and later 20th century burial are down as Manor Park. Can't see any indication they had two sites or have changed locations.

Edit, the registers appear to change from saying Little Ilford to Manor Park in 1954 (yes sad individual has been playing on the search out of curiosity).
